In 2013, Open Chattanooga hosted a National Day of Civic Hacking, where local creatives and techies pooled their imaginations to animate public city data into useful tools, apps, and other mediums to benefit the community. Over the weekend four separate teams worked on creating innovative civic applications using open data posted on the City of Chattanooga's new portal hosted by the public library. Following the event, Open Chattanooga partnered with each team to support their projects and bring them to the hands of citizens and organizations in the city.
